Mainshill Solidarity Camp Gathering – Saturday 31st October & Sunday 1st November + video

Build­ing – Work­shops – Action

Join us at Main­shill Wood for the week­end of the 31st Octo­ber & 1st Novem­ber or longer if you can.

Work has start­ed at Main­shill, where Scot­tish Coal want a new coal mine but the com­mu­ni­ty does not. Huge areas of plan­ta­tion are being felled and JCBs have moved in. This gath­er­ing will strength­en the cam­paign and give new ener­gy to the Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp.

Events over the Week­end:

* Sat­ur­day 31st Octo­ber, 13:00: A walk of the area with peo­ple from sur­round­ing and affect­ed com­mu­ni­ties, vis­it­ing areas that have been destroyed by Scot­tish Coal and areas that we can still save. A dis­cus­sion on the cam­paign so far and where we can take it will fol­low.
* Climb­ing, tree-house build­ing and tun­nelling work­shops
* A “work day” to build the Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp some new defences
* Evening camp-fire enter­tain­ment
* Plen­ty of chances to stop a beau­ti­ful area of Scotland’s coun­try­side from being turned into an open­cast coal mine

What to bring:

* Warm clothes and water-proofs, a tent, sleep­ing bag and mat
* Any food, build­ing mate­ri­als and tools you can
* Most impor­tant­ly, bring your­self and your friends

The Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp has been doing its best to stop work on the site, but now we need your sup­port and sol­i­dar­i­ty to win this fight against Scot­tish Coal, Lord Home and South Lanark­shire Coun­cil!
